There is currently no legal requirement for drivers of electric mobility scooters to obtain third party insurance cover; as such any person sustaining injuries through negligence of the driver can have a low chance of claiming compensation. We would like to see compulsory insurance introduced.

Allow electric e-scooters to be able to ride on pavements and roads
I don't understand why Parliament have made this rule, I think e-scooters, bikes and other e modes of transport are a good thing.
Ban all electric scooters on public roads
We ask the Government to ban e-scooters on public roads due to the increasing number of accidents, injuries and fatalities. They pose serious risks to riders, pedestrians and other road users. Stronger regulation and enforcement is urgently needed to protect public safety.
Introduce mandatory registration and licensing for e-bikes
We want the government to introduce mandatory registration and licensing alongside other regulations to align the system with what is in place for mopeds.
Improve safety for E-Bikes and E-Scooters to reduce injuries
• Make helmets mandatory • Introduce drink/drug limits, with enforceable testing powers • Raise minimum age FOR USE to 18 • Cap rental e-bike/scooter speeds at 12 mph nationwide • Require safety inspections and minimum maintenance standards • Strengthen penalties against dangerous riding
E-scooter service launch announcement
An e-scooter rental service is coming to the area soon.
